Admiral Dalilgren's Official Report of Ope rations to the 18th—The Bombardment of Sumpter—Death. of Capt. Rodgers. . FLAG-STVAXEII DINSMORE Ors MORRIS ISLAND, August 18, 1861, Hon. - Gideon ;Vella, Secretary of the Navy, 'Washing ton, D. Sin: Yesterday was begun another aeries of operations against the enemy's works. Early in the morning Gen. Gilmore opened all his batteries upon Fort Sumpter, tiring over Fort Wagner and the intervening space. About-the same time -I moved up all the available naval force, leading with my flag in the Weehawken, followed• by the .I%Tahant, and Montauk, the Passaic and Patapsco in reserve for Fort Sumpter. The Ironsides in position opposite to Fort. Wag ner, and the gunboats named in the margin at long range Canandaigua, Capt. J. F. Gran; Mahaska, Com: J. B. -Creighton;,Cimmerone, Com. A. K. Bugle; Ottowa, Lieut. Com. W. D. Whiting; Wis. sahickon, Lieut. Com. S. L. Davis ; Dal Ching, Lieut. Com. J. F. Chapin ; Ladona, Lieut. Oom. E. Brodhead. As the tide rose, the Weehawken was closed to ahout 450 yards Sumpter ; the other three moat tors followed, - and the Ironsides, as near as hergreat depth of water permitted After a steady and well-directed - fire, Wagner was silenced about 9.13 A. M., and that of our own ves sels Was slackened in conseqUence. - Meanwhile the tire from our shore batteries was working effectually upon the gorge of Sumpter, which appeared to have been strengthened in every possible manner. At this time the flag was shifted to the Passaic, which, with. the Patapsco, both having rifted guns, steamed up the channel until within two thousand yards of Port Sumpter, when their fire was opened on the gorge angle and south east front of the work. The Patapsco fired very well, and is believed to have struck the southeast front nine consecutive times. To all this Sumpter scarcely, replied ; Wagner was 'silenced,. and Bat-, tery Gregg alone maintained a deliberate fire at the Passaic and Patapsco. it was now noon. The men had been hard at work fromi daybreak, and needed rest, so I withdrew the vessels to give them dinner. During the afternoon our shore batteries con tinued the fire at Sumpter with little or no reply from the enemy, and I contented myself with send ing up the Passaic and Patapsco to prevent Wagner from repairing damages. The fort replied briskly, but in a short time:left off firing. I am not able to state with exactness the result of the day , a work, but am well satisfied - with what a distant view of Sumpter allowed me. Our entire Power is not yet developed as it will, be daily while the enemy is damaged without being able to repair. The officers and men of the vessels engaged have done their duty well, and will continue to do so. All went well with us, save one sail, *exception. Captain Rodgers, my chief of staff, was killed, as well ms Paymaster Woodbury, who was standing near him. Captain - Rodgers had more than once asked CM this occasion if he would go on as usual 6r resume the command of his vess,,cl, the • Catskill, and he repeated the query twice in the. morning. The last time on the deck of the Weehawken just while preparing to go into action. In each instance, I re plied, "Do as you choose." He finally said, "Well, I will wain the Catskill, and the next time with you." The Weehawken was lying, about a thousand yards from Wagner, and the Catskill with my gal lant friend, just inside of me ; the fire of. the fort coming in steadily. Observing the tide to have risen frlittle, I directed the Weehawken to be carried in closer, and the anchor was hardly weighed when I noticed that the Catskill was also under way, which I remarked to Captain Calhoun. It occurred to me that Captain Rodgers detected the movement of the Weehawken, and was determined to be closer to the enemy, if possible. My attention was called off immediately to a position for the Weehawken, and soon after it was reported that the Catskill was going out of action, with the signal flying thather cap tain was disabled. He had been killed instantly., is but natural that I should feel deePly the loss thus sustained; for the close and confidential relation Which the duties of fteettaptain, and necessarily the . occasion, impressed me deeply with the worth of Cap tain Rodgers. Brave, intelligent, and highly capa ble, devoted to his duty and to the flag under which be passed his life, the country cannot afford to lose .such men. 'Of a kind and generous nature, ha was always prompt to give relief when he could. PHILADELPHIA; I have directed that'all respect • be, paid to his re mains, and the country will not, X am sure, omit to honor the memory — of one who has not spared his life in the hour of trial. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, JOHN" DAHLGREN, Rear Admiral, • Commanding South Atlantic STILL LATER FROM, CHARLESTON. - FORTRESS: Kormou, Angust 23.—The steamer Ignite Leaf arrived here this morning from Charles ton, and reports leaving Stono Inletlast Thursday, at which' time the guns Of Sumpter were silenced, and several breaches had been made in its walls. No doubt existed that the rebels would soon surrender Sumpter. At; the same time the monitors were close under the walls of Fort Wagner, and by the aid of our sharpshooters had nearly silenced the guns of:the enemy, UNDKR.OLOTRING. Tribune correspondence of the 18th. contain the following : Whether Fort Wagner has really succumbed or not, ;whether the prolund silence is assumed or ne cessitated, whether thirteen htindred strong men still--lie safe within the bomb proofs or silently evacuated them during the darkness of last night ; of one thing we are positively certain, and that is, that Sumpter, the fortress upon which thOgaze of the whole nation may be said to be turned, beneath the most terrible fire ever before concentrated'up an a similar structure, is fast falling into ruins. ' Four rifled shots were sent through her gorge-wall last Saturday evening, nine more on Sunday, even ing.and at daylight yesterday morning the bombard ment opened in earnest, to close only when the red battle.flag of the enemy flutters and falls upon her ruins, and stars and stripes again float over them. Between three and four hundred shots have already passed into and through her gorge-wall, near ly fifty ;through her sea-wall, and about thirty have gone directly into the fort. , Immense heapi of brick and mortar have fallen into the sea, choked up the sallyport, and made a pile of ruins between the bas tions, over which a storming party"could , climb into the fort if it were at this stage deemed practicable. By this evening it is confidently expected that the gorge-wall will have been completely crushed in, but whether the chivalry of South Carolina will then deem it prudent to surrender, remains to' be seen. Sand-begs rapidly tilled and piled up sewn' the fort in front of the casematea may protect them for a day or two, bat for a day or two only. Fort Wagner in our possession, the guns upon the sea-wall of Sump ter disthounted, so rapid and so heavy a fire can thin be poured into her, that it would be folly, bor dering upon madness, for her garrison longer to By to•morrow morning, the heaviest rifled ,guns known to the artillery service will be in;Otniition, with the most experienced gunners in the country on hand to direct their lire. Educated officers, who have had much experience in reducing fortresses, both in Europe and in this country, consider the re duction of the fort within the present week beyond These aanguine apiculationa are contradicted by the Herald : ' . Undoubtedly advantage will betaken by certain parties here of the first opportunity to send North the most highly-colored and exaggerated reports of our operations since the beginning of 'the attack upon .Fort Sumpter. There are not wanting among us those who think a practicable, breach , effected in its walls, and who grumble because it is not .car ried by. assault. They are of the same party who 'imagine that, because the beauty of Fort Wagner is destroyed, the regularity of its parapet broken, aud its sharp angles obliterated, the work is no longer formidable as an obstacle to our advance. A repre sentative of one of the New York papers is of this Fort Sumpter enjoys as much immunity, from as sault as if . her fair outlines had never been disturb. ed. Wagner is today as strong as, when this end of Morris Island was occupied by the Federal forces ;- stronger, perhaps, for its garrison has been increased, and wherever a gun, has been disabled-another has been mounted. To military minds the idea of as saulting Fort Sumpter, after a three-days , bombard- Merit; at a distance of thirty-five 'hundred to• four thousand yards, is simply ridiculous. The posses sion of Wagner and Gregg is essential to our occu pation of Sumpter. ,Operations looking to their possession have not been lost sight of, nor for a moment suspended. We will have them, and Fort Sumpter with them, in due time. Two men, killed and five wonnded are the only losses upon our aide of which I have been able to learn. One of the latter ./ saw going to the rear with a mutilated arm. "Wounded by a shell? I asked. "Yee , he cooly answered. "I was right under the darnedthing when the bottom dropped out." , In the dust`day s borabardment, on Monday, as rebel deserters report, one gun in Battery Gregg had its truniona knocked off byla shot from the Ironsides. In the above work four were killed and six wounded. In Wagner the casualties all told numbered eigh• teen. , I asked one of the deserters if the rebel soldiers generally thought Sumpter would fall. "We don't think nothin' about it—we know it," was his reply: The people of Charleston undoubtedly know it, too, for only the poorest - class, who cannot command even the means to get way, are at present in the WASHINGTON" SPECITLATIONS. .6 ATew remarks in regard to the reduction of Sumpter and the capture of Oharleston may not• be inappro priate at this time, as the public seem to have made up their minds that, notwithstanding the series of failures attending the siege in that quarter, the rebel army must succumb after a few hours' work by Gil more and Dahlgren. But the contrary is the case and it may be weeks yet before this stronghold and nest of traitors falls into 'National hands. There fore, our readers must not be impatient, although, in all probability, at present writing, Sumpter is de stroyed or evacuated, if Charleston does not fall for The following paragraph occurs in a letter 'from a paimaster the_ expedition , to an officer. in .the, ; Treasury Department: "The people must not be too anxious. This is the_ moat-. complicated. job the army. has had to perform during the war; and if, success ;Vends us, and it will, the victory-will be the mosellarilliant ever recorded in the naval chap ters of•hiatory. But it cannot be done In a hurry. The movement will be deliberately made by,,as you are aware, two young, but gallant and. experienced men. The concerted attack is to be madetamorrow, if the sea permits. God grant that I may pay off the next batch of troops in Charleston.”—Washingion How the Siege 11 Considered by the g e b e i Press. [From, the Richmond ixarnieer, August • The operations against Fort Wagner are continued with redoubled energy. It is evident' that orders have been homed from Washington , to spare no thing, neither life, ammunition, nor vessels, for the accomplishment of success at that point. The Federal Secretary of War, Stanton, has often and publicly declared of late that " Char'Won Mould TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1863 CH ARLESTON, :CONDITION OF THE REBEL FORTS. ISTOIDICNTS OF'TEIEI3O3IBAREXENT. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST. 25, 1863. fall, if energy and 15• inch shell could make it,” and is now :trying , what they can really do in the premises. Until lately thefhave done nothing,hecause the damage they occasioned in the day Was - repaired in the night. Within the past week, however, the bombardment has proceeded with fury through the night, as well as in the day, but with what result is entirely unknown to us. This tremendous can nonade is probably the preliminary to another assault. If the place is uninjured, the assault will be again a sanguinary disaster to the enemy ; if it is not in such condition, the officers in command at Charleston understand their profession too well to permit the battery or the island to become another of the many man-traps which have done the country so much moral as well as material injury during the war. We have never been able to learn why this battery and this island are considered essential to the sway of Charleston. Possession of it will ena ble the enemy to plant batteries within fourteen hundred yards of sumpter, but not to approach one fobt further: It the fortress is destroyed by a can nonade at that distance, it will be the first considera ble work which has ever been so reduced; The pos sibility of_ accomplishing the novel feat rests on the supposed supeiior powers of rifle guns. But though these modern ,implements of war can be employed with accuracy at much longer distance than smooth bore, their breaching power has been hitherto considered, if not inferior, certainly no greater than those of the ordinary siege guns carrying equal weight. Resting their opinion on the fate of Vicksburg and other places, many persons in the South believe the destruction of Sumpter and the fall or Charleston to be inevitable events. There will be the more glory for its defenders and honor for the city if they falsify such predictions. Any extensive city which: cannot be circumvallated, and which is defended by a large army with heavy fortifioations, is impregnable, if its people and soldiers 'are truly- determined never to give in. The means of defence multiply with every week of siege._ All the power of France and England employed to the uttermost and withoht intermission was insuf ficient to take . Sebastopol. They finally tie co/famished the destruction of Malakoff and the docks—the Battery_Wagner and the Morris Island of that place. But they never reached the north side of the port, and knovring by 'ex; perience that they never would succeed in doing ;xi,' they made peace, rather than waste another hun dred thousand lives in the attempt. If Charleston is captured, history will declare that it was because the spirit of the place had decayed. That any such decay exists we do not believe; and that every foot of ground, every atone, every ruin, will be defended with the highest determination, is what the world expects of General Beauregard, and of Charleston. If they do so act in the coming emergency, although we may hear of some partial and expensive success to the enemy in the siege ; although Wagner may be taken, or IVlorris Islandevacuated; Sumpter be shat tered, and even some portion of the city injured by shells, the South will never have to support the' great grief and mortification of knowing that Charleston is in the hands of the enemy, and ruled by a Butler. , [From the Richmond Examiner, August Al The sole point'of real interest to thia North, as in the South, is, and during the next few weeks will continue to be - Charleston. All eyes,.all hopes, all ears, are centred now on that beleaguered city. It is astonishing to observe the continence which ap pears to be felt- by the Northern public in the rapid and certain success of the operations now under taken against Charleston. - It is equally astonish ing to hear many in this Southern Confederacy,- who have-not the means of knowing aught about the situation of the besieged or the besiegers, ex- press similar opinions. The difficulties -in the way of the besiegers are so manifest, and" so many ef forts like this present one have proven in remit such pitiable abortions, that it would appear impossible to regard the fall of Charleston as a proper or prudent subject for prediction. It - is true; the siege is now conducted on a gigantic recale,'and - with remarkable energy. The enemy employs on Battery Wagner and Fort Sumpter an armament hitherto unexampled in .the history of warfare. The vast material re sources of the United States will'be used to their ut most extent in the next few days, and are, in fact, so used. But the preparations of the defence ,have been not lees energetic and determined. If the huge projectiles or the attack promise to pierce seven feet into solid brick Work, the walls of the , battery and the fort have been made twenty feet - thick with sand bags to break the •shock. Unable -to procure mach needed guns from Richmond, Charleston has: fitted, up an arsenal of its own, which rifles the hea viestmdnance. Not the slightest symptom of flag ging or depression is manifested by the brave men who conduct • the defence; and. the' population ardently encourage them to maintain their places till , every house shall be reduced to; ashes, every gun dismounted, and until the last. than is disabled.. Let he pray that Charleston will, as it desires, be a mound of smoking ruins, if the day. 'should ever come when the Yankee flag *planted there. But we do not share in the belief that day is to come. Already the enemy suffers his a first - dia. appointment. It will be seen that the innounce ment was confidently made bythe correspondents of the Northern, press, that the great bombardment. would assuredly open on the past Thursday; that in two or three hours Wagner would inevitably be torn to pieces, and that Sumpter would fall before Sun drw,.at the latest. On Thursday a furious bombard ment was in fact begun, and was continued during the remaining, days of the week. Sunday has come , and gone, but the Confederate banner _still waves over Sumpter; nor have we heard that - any coneide rable.damage has been done to the 'Sand bags which cover its brickwoik twenty feet deep. _ [Correspondence of the Richmond Enquirer, August 13.7 In company with General Ripley and several gen-, tlemenq vieited Fort Sumpter, Oummin's Point, and the -celebrated battery Wagner. ' On arriving at Sumpter.we found a large force at work, protecting the walls of the fort by piling up sand bags some twenty feet thick, in anticipation of the expected assault. We found everything in fine condition, amt.' Witnessed for some time the throwing of shell from ii a large mortar, which howled through, the air, hurW. ing over the enemy's works' on Morris Island.' 'Pru dence pravents-zna from- giving you a description of some most interesting matters, which, of course, cannot. be mentioned, and therefore I can give you but the bare outline of our visit. From Sumpter we pulled over to Cumming' Point, 1,300 yards die tent, on Morris Island, the shell_ from Sumpter flying over our heads. It was a starlight night; and very calm ; consequently there was but. : - little surf, and our landing on the beach was - attended without difficulty. We foUnd battery Gregg in a State of quiescence, and obtaining horses, pro ceeded down the beach for three quarters of a mile,' until we came to.the war-worn -Wagner. -Entering a narrow passage which leads to the centre of the battery, reminding one of the dungeons of-old, you pass under immense thicknesses of earth and sand, where are contained the quarters and magazine of the garrison, called the bomb-proof. This pile of earth overhead is supported by vast beams, pillars, and rafters The walls are over twenty feet in thick ness. The bastions are also very strong, and pre sent two faces-'—the south toward the land and the east towat de the sea. We ascended the ramparts to the sea front, but it was too dark - to obtain a good - view. We were shown over the works by Colonel George P. Harrison, of the 82d Georgia, now acting as brigadier general, and who is at present com manding the forces on Morris Island. While on the ramparts we - could distinctly see the shell from Sumpter burst over the enemy's works.A 'reconnoissance was made last night to we:rds the enemy's marsh battery, at the mouth of Schooner . creek, where one of. the enemy's picket-boats was captured a short time since, be tween Morris and James Island, and about three quarters of a mile from Battery Wagner. The enemy . was felted to be in some force, and our scouts with.: drew without attracting attention. Fromthis point the enemy has . displayed, for the laSt two nights, a strong calcium light, which throws it rays upon Wagner, Gregg, and Sumpter,' which is for the pur pose of enabling them to get the range at night. The nearest advanced work of the enemy if now within SOO yards of Wagner, and they, are still work ing away like. beavers, with the expectation of soon completing their battery of heavy long-range guns to open on Sumpter. We are not inactive; and in two or three days they will hear music from a quar ter the least expected. To-day, Thursday, up to 5 P. M., all has been remarkably quiet, but few shots having been exchanged. Matters are fast approach ing the culminating point, and we shall soon have hot work of it. We are, however, in a - Condition to give the enemy &warmer reception than he imagines, General Ripley having made every exertion to put the`harbor in, the best state of defence ' and has taken the responsibility of supplying many, deficiencies on his own account. As an instance of this, after the operationa of :the enemy in April, it was ascer tained that but-few if any heavy guns could be sent to this locality. To supply the want of resources here, the attempt was made to ride and double band an 8-inch columbiad of the pattern of 1357. I The Ordnance Department; however, was unable to- do the work -at the Charleston Arsenal. General Ripley then made arrangements outside the arsenal, and proceeded to establish a machine shop of his own. Instructions soon came from Richmond, how ever, that no work should be paid for by the invalid Government on this account. General Ripley then proceeded on his own responsibility, and made ar rangements to have the work paid for. The come quence was, in spite of the old nightcaps at Rich mond, the gun was completed, and has proved a per fect success. It will throw, with eight pounds, of powder, a projectile weighing .one -hundred and thir ty.seven pounds further than a.lO-inch-columbiad. will throw a ball of one hundred and twenty-eight pounds with eighteen pounds of powder.. The full range of these guns -will shortly be tested on the enemy's iron-clads, the projectiles, used being. solid iron bolts, copper rimmed, with ratchet sabots, and.- cylindroconcoidal shell, which .is the most destruc tive of its character. When the ball 'timidly Opened, there will be terrible howling. . DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF. Military Execution—A ,Soldter Shot for z••• 4 - Killing Eta Superior Officer. grout the Daily True Delta. , Augtistls.3 . • At 8 o'clock yesterday morning a military execu tion took place on the 'Levee, between the Vicks burg and Reading cotton presses. 'There was no previous announcement of the event, except the cortege which we mentioned in yesterday , ' Evening True Della. Our of The Picavune was there, and we give part of his account : Among the regiments present were the 26th Mae sachusetts, the 9th' Connecticut, and the9lst New York, together with a conaiderable force;of cavalfy and artillei y. "A covered wagon drove up contain. ing the prisoner, with his arms pinioned, seated on " his coffin.. Re was accompanied by his spiritual ad viser, Father Dufau, and some members of-the pro vast guard. . The prisoner, Francis Scott, was a' man in the very prime of Meaving just completed his thir tieth year.' He was a native of county Pdonahan, Ireland, and had spent five years in , service as a sol dier in the regular , United States 'army. , Being- in .this city when thewar,broke out, he joined the lot Louisiana Heavy Artillery, and was in , service at Fort'Jackson when' its garrison surrendered to Ad miral Farragut inApril oflast year. He was then paroled with other prisoners, but finally;he rejoined the United States service, attaching himself to the rat Louisiana Regiment. • The offence for which he wan tried and convicted by -a , court martial was committed on the sth of July last, at Fort Butler Donaldsonville. It appears that a 'di ffi culty arose between ' him and Major Bul -kn, of the 28th Massachusetts Regiment, then in command of that point, when Scott, being on duty at the time, raised his musket and shot the 'Major through'the body, thereby causing his death. He surveyed the preparations that were being made for his execution with a calm, unflinching The sentence of the court-martial was read to him by Captain Pickering, provoet marshal of the ide7 fences of the city, and copies of It were read to the various regiments which:lined the square, after which the.; prisoner was led up to his coffin, and Father Dufau addressed- as prayer for_ mercy to the Thr one of Grace. The solemn ceremony of prina . ration being ended, the priest - bade farewell to the prisorier t and the latter, turning to his late eorrirades in aims safd, PELLoW,SOLDrans -I am about to die for killing Major Bullen. I. did kill him, and would. do the :same. thing over, under similar circumstances - . had nevermet him before that day. My, company had come down from Port Hudson to,Donaldion vile, and we stopped there in the fort. That even ing Major Bullerf came to the breastworks, and told, my captain that he must remain on the breastworks; as he was going to withdraw his detachment.. The captain told him that he was under marching orders, and he did not think it right that he should be left there. The major replied : "You mint obey ordere, sir, - and I order you to remain here." Without intending anything wrong, I happened to say;: " Well, 'captain, we'll take care of theme breastworks, 'and protect his nine- months' men from the enemy," At which the ' major turned 'upon' me, and some words passed between - 'MI, when he drew his revolver and aimed at' me. My musket was at an order, and I brought it to 'a ready, and before he could fire I fired at- him. I shot him through the Wriat and in the body. 'I killed him, and am content to die for it. Had he killed me, there would have been nothing done. An officer is never punished for killing a soldier. I hold no malice agailatany one, and freely forgive everybody, as I liopetill will forgive me. Had General Banks one thousand men like me, they would be, worth more than all the conscripts that the State of Maine can send into the field." As he closed these remarks he dropped upon his knees, and, looking toward the de• tail, said "I am ready. 2, - A handkerchief was then bound over his eyes, and the order to fire was given. At ,the word twelve muskets were discharged, and the convict fell over and died without a struggle. Seven bullets struck him, two passing through his heart, four through his body, and one through his wrist. MIIRDP.R OP - A SLAVE - WY' BIS /EASTER Aplanter, named H. M. Renthorp, who owns a plantation about twentptive miles back of Algiers, is now undergoing an examination before Judge Hughes, in the clerk's office of the provost court, on the charge of having cruelly murdered one of his slaves, named George. The prosecution was insti tuted by Special Officer Long, at the request of the major of the 7th Colored Regiment. The circum stances attending the murder, as related to us, are as folio - we :On the morning of the second Monday in July lienthorp had some words with his slave • George. who was on horseback, in frontof the quer ,ters.. He told him to dismount, as he intended to 'givehim a flogging. The negro started to run, when he drew his revolver and fired twice at him. Neither shot took effect, and George dismounted and made for the fence in the direction of the woods. The planter called for his shot gun, and, when it teas brought; discharged both barrels at George, just as he got our the fence. It is not known whe ther any, of the buckshot struck him, but iris pro bable they did. The enraged master, however, pur sued the negro, and two more shots were shortly after heard in the woods. That evening the body of theunfortunate negro was found full of buckshot wounds, many of them mortal, and beaten, bruised and mangled in a horrible Trianner. The;Snots corn ing to the knowledge of the regiment of Native Garda, , stationed near the plantation, Renthorp was arrested and sent to the city for trial. Chris tiab Roselius has been retained to defend the plan ter, while - the prosecution will be conducted by Meer Long. ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.

One fire from it killed a horse and took Mr the leg of A. B. McCook, of Lilly's Battery. Our fire was very destructive, and every battery which opened on us was disabled. Lilly threw 'llene --with great precision into the embrasures of the eneicy. The works of the enemy on the river are reported very strong, the parapets not being less than fifteen feet wide. Contrabands report that Johnston had arrived with two trains of troops on the 20th, superseding Bragg, who bad retired• to Atlanta. This is corro borated by citizens. Several water batteries -on a level with the river have been discovered. - 'Moored at the wharf are two steamers, and oppo site the city is a pOntoon bridge of 47 boats, The largest of the steamers was sunk by our lire and the smaller one disabled. The attempt to destroy the pontoon bridge, was .fruatrated by the fire of the rebel sharpshooters. Forty prisoners were taken, two rebels killed and several wounded. _ A train of 'wagons and the mules of one battery, grazing on this side of the river, were captured. Our advance - reports two divisions at Chattanoo ga; and "Hill's (late Hardee's) corps along the rail road in the direction of Bridgeport. A detachment sent opposite to Harrison discovered no enemy.

It was theeburning of the above bridge that was thought _to be the deatruction.of the steamer Point which boat escaped, reaching Chattanooga on Thursday. Important events must soon transpire in the vici nity of. Chattanooga and Harrison, East Tennessee. [From the New York Tribune.] • . At last, the - long-awaited, but most-welcome, tidings is permitted to transpire; that the armies of Gene. Rosecrans and Burnside are moving on sepa rate, lines, but with a common Purpose to the libe ration of long-suffering, Undaunted, heroic East Tennessee. Late as it is, the news will be. greeted by every loyal heart with a sense of relief—a thrill Of hope—a .thankfulness that a duty too long ne glected has at length been at least attempted. East Tennessee ought to have been occupied by a strong Union column directly after the rebel batte ries opened on Sumpter in April, 1861: but Kentucky, under the rule of. the traitor Magoffin, was then playing neutral, and forbidding an invasi on of her soil by either belligerent ; Tennessee, too, had for Governor, in Isharn G. Harris, a villain steeped in treason from crown to heel, who would unquestion ably have called out the militia, to resist any ad vance of Union forces from the Ohio as a violation of State sovereignty ! Then the execrable policy of waiting to see what might turn up in the way of collapse or negotiation bore sway at Washington, and the golden moment was suffered to pass unim proved. Alex. Stephens slipped over to Nashville, made a treaty of offensive and defensive alliance be tween the rebel Oonfe.deracy and the State of Ten nessee, embodied in the person of Isham G. Harris— who had just as much right , to make the treaty as to sell his State to Louis Nnpeleon for so much cash in hand. Meantime nearly all the Democratic, and a part of the Whig -politicians were busily haranguing and intriguing tor secession, and when at length pool' old John Bell - was, bullied into a feeble and halting accession to the ranks of treason, it seemed as if the bottom had fairly fallen out— that there was no Union party left. The news of the Union rout at Bull Run, magnified and render ed more, disgraceful to our arms, if possible, than the naked truth; backed in a few days by tidings of the defeat`and death - of Lyon in - Missouri, seemed to complete the ruin. Just then, Tennessee was summoned to vote for or against secession by the managers on behalf of Treason, and the returns as canvassed showed the following result: For Secession....*lo.l 905; For the Union • 47,22.3 Blejority for Sec e ssion *lncluding 2,741 rebel soldiers in camp—of course, unanimous. • Yet, even in this time of general defection and disaster, when three large counties of Middle Ten nessee polled a unanimous vote for secession; when Davidson (including Nashville): gave 5,365 for secession to barely 402 for the- Union, and - when . Shelby (inoluding - Memphis) gave '7,132 for secession to five for the Union, - East Tennessee` stood un shaken. John 13elf made -- a rebel speech in - Knox ville, where he had ever tilt- now been an oracle; W. M. Churchwell, Watkins, :and others whom. she had tried to honor by sending them to Congress,' were vehement for -secession -; but she spurned-their - cofineels; and,lhough surrounded by rampant-treason, and constantly traversed by its' military levies, cast this noble vote: Fpr the Union 32,9231 For Secession - 14,768 • Majority for the Union.. - .. 18,155.

East ,Tennesseeovith 282,021 inhabitants, has but 26,50451ave5, or' less than one-tenth of her popula tion. She, of c6ufse, like West Virginia, was im pervious to slaveholding treason. West and Mid dle Tennessee, with 827,820 inhabitants, had 248,181 slaves, or nearly one.third of.the total.' In these, the slaveholding interest preponderated, and nearly crushed out the Union sentiment or awed it into sublervience to treason. - Since then, East Tennessee haa endured two years of brutality and - torture-such-as - only fiends could inflict, and as the upright and humane cannot realize. Men have been butchered before the eyes of their wives and'daughters, and women subject to scourging, violation and murder, for the crime of refusing to be traitors; robbery,' arson, maiming, manslaughter, have been so common as to be re garded as matters of counts. Thousands of devoted Unionists have been dragged into the rebel armies to be starved, shot, or worn,out in serving a cause which they, utterly loathe;"but other thousands have made -their way by stealth, in solitude and darkness, :flitting: from wood to wood, wading in, brooks and rivers so onto leave no trail for pursuers, no scent for the- bloodhounds, until they have made their. ay, weary and famished, to some _loyal out postin •Kentucky and Middle. Tennessee, and been cheered at length by ":a sight of the old`flag. Most of the able. bodied portion of these are now in the Union armies or sleepingproudly weillonght battle , fields among the Union dead:- But thousands were inter "cepted or overtaken on their way,"tumbled 'over a log by.-a bullet, or cut 'down by the horseman's merciless sabre, and await the resurrection among the wooded heights, by the deep ravines, of the land they so dearly love. The Union armies will be wel comed to •East Tennessee with frenzied exultation but those who throng the highways and lean from the windows:to cheer'them will in large measure be Widows and orphans, lamenting the loss of husbands and "fathers who lie in unknown graves. . However, God be thanked that East Tennessee is to be freed at last--that at.least the ashes of her patriot dead are to rest under the togia of that coun try for which 'they freelk.rgave their. lives. Their sleep will becalmer and sweeter if they know that the miscreants who "desolatea their homes are htnted away, so that the eagle gazing afar from his mountain eyrie sees no flag flying but that of the Union. . POIATICAL "-- There is no necessity of, speculating upon the political chances in Pennsylvania. This is no time to ponder over the statistics of past contests: men change too much to render figures reliable. We cannot admit the possibility of defeat. Sucoesis is a great and terrible necessity. The glorious Onion must not be abandoned to the hands of its enemies. We have beaten the Southern lion in fair combat, and shall we now submit to hie jackals' "Leave chances to be cyphered up by 'Copperheads. If you must figure, take the last returns of your district, find out the Union vote, and make up your minds to increase it. That ifs theway to cypher out victory, and when you have seen the result on paper, put your - shoulder to the wheel to bring it about. We must succeed. The moral sentiment of the State is with us. In the temples of religion and education, in newspapers, and all the walks of literature, we outnumber the enemy. We can and must conquer. The Green Bay (Wis.)Advocafe refuses to sup port the Democratic ticket lately put in nomination in that State. The editor says that he visited the. Convention to know personally of its compoaltion and action. Be says: "The speeches made, the general tenor of the inside and outside talk, and the pervading atmosphere of the Convention, were-of-- a kind which seemed to be intended, and certainly had the effect, to convince men who are known as War Democrats, that they had no rights there. That is why we do not -support the ticket." The Advo cate has been pliblished seventeen years, and the edi tor says this is the first time it has failed to support the Wiaconsin Democracy. Now, however, he says : "The coiTtest which we are passing through is not now a quarrel for the mastery of parties; it is a struggle for the fate of nations. We would no more enter it clad in our old party harness, and rnanceuvring with our old party tactics, than we would enter upon celestial streets covered with the dust and fretted with the ambitions of earth. Let the President go his way. While he is the (thief offi cer of this nation, our fealty, our service, and our life, are at his disposal." We conversed with a gentleman this morning who has just returned from -a two months' resi dence in the State of Ohio. During that time he has traversed the greater part of the State, and had opportunities of becoming acquainted with thesen timents of the people in regard to the Coming elec.' tion. lie represents the enthusiasm for Brough, the Union candidate for Governor, as the most ex traordinary he ever witnessed. The people are for him almost en masse; and there is not even the sha dow of a ghost of a chance for Vallandigham. Even the nominees on the Democratic cbunty tickets pub licly avow that they will not support him. Our friend was present at a Brough meeting in Warren, Trumbull county, (which' has heretofore been a strong DemOcratic district), last week, and says the outpouring of the people surpassed anything he ever witnessed in a county meeting. There were not less thrinten thousand persons present. itren, women, and children poured into the town in delegations of bundreds—in wagons, carriages, and on foot. The Vallandighamera are thoroughly frightened, and talk of putting a new man in the field.. But it is too late. Burnt brandy cannot save the Copperhead party in Ohio now.—Lancasfer inquirer. • Since the nomination of Governor Curtin, the loyal men of Pennsylvania have settled doym into quiet assurance that he will be elected by an over whelming majority: It is to be noted that the friends of the Government are not going about ranting On politics, nor making noise and clamor such as is usual in an active political canvass ; but there is a solann resolve among all sober and reflecting citi zens - to do their whole duty in the most efficient manner. There is a desire to do everything to pro mote harmony and' good , feeling, to allay party and personal prejudices, and, indeed, to make great Bo caifices at this peculiar crisis of the war. They feel the stake now at issue to be an immense one, being no less than that precious Government which was transmitted to us by our fathers. Deep down in their hearts is a devogon :to country which will prompt them to undying vigilance. We invoke them by everything dear not to suffer a vote to be lost by the miserable and contemptible machinations of these Copperhead leaders, who seek stealthily . and by false means to make votes while the friends of the Union are working for the country. No man is worthy of freedom who is not willing to work and vote for it now. Everything shows that a moat desperate effort will be made by the Copperheads to carry the election in thin State. Their leading men in this county are now at work day and night in preparing for the contest. The lodges of the ,1 K. G. Ws 1r are meeting nightly in nearly every, township in this county, and in some instances have succeeded in deceiving and -persuading Union men into be aming members of their treasonable associations. JeffL avis, and every other traitor North and South, is waiting anxiously for the'result of the election in Pennsylvania. If the friends of slavery succeed their victory will give new hopes to the SOutir, will strengthen the hands of the traitors and prolong the war. Let treason be defeated, let:Pennsylvania stand firm as a rock on the side of the Constitution, the laws, and the,vigorous prosecution of the war, and treason will have received its death-blow.— Berks and Schuylkill Joternal. All the elements of the slaveholders' rebellion, on the one side, wile involved In the 'contest for Go vernor of Pennsylvania. If Judge Woodward suc ceeds, his success can and will be regarded as the triumph of slavery, and the triumph of slavery will be tantamount to the triumph of rebellion. Slavery can only be ensured by-rebellion. Rebellion is of slavery, in principle, strength, resources, and pro pensities. The one battles that the other may be maintained, the other is maintained that the other may be Ir:tabled to battle. Thus, when the Demo cratic leaders make issue for slavery, as they are in all their positions and platforms, they are contri buting to rebellion, they are detracting from loyalty and the. Government. Hence, the, contest in this State rests entirely upon the question of slavery and the issue of rebellion. What are those who openly oppose the war for the preservallon of the Union, and who are giving aid and comfort to the rebellion, doing? Working for the Woodward ticket. What are those doing whose sympathies are with the Jeff Davie Govern ment-`at Richmond? Working for, the Woodveard ticket. 'What are those who incite to riot and re sistance to the draft doing 1_ Working for the Wood ward ticket. What are those doing, who are con tinually crying for the "Union as it was, and the Constitution as it is," and who, to suit rebels, were willing, a few years ago, to amend the Constitu tion'? Working - for the Woollward ticket. What are those doing who are continually denouncing the Administration, and opposing it all they possibly can Working for the Woodward ticket.—Carlisle Herald. —Mr. G. W. Curtis writes in Harper's Weekly in reference to the President : "History will vindicate the President, even if our impatience should be un just to him: - It will show that succeeding to the executive head of the Government at a moment of most complicated military and political peril,land when national .salvation seemed ahnost impossible, he displayed such simplicity, earnestness, honesty, patience, and sagacity—neither overwhelmed by dis aster nor coniminded by treachery, nor disquieted by the distrust of friends, that he may be truly called a providential man.' , Mr. N. H. Rice, superintendent of the Maki . gan Central Railroad, wrote as follows to the In dianapolis war-Democratic meeting, of Gen. Lewis Case, anxious, but too old and feeble, to " raise his voice in behalf Of the good cause "Elear,Sir : I have just come from a visit at Gen. Cass' hOuse, and found him verifeeble and entirely unfit far a jotirney.' He was in a darkened room on - account of having very weak eyes ; and besides, he is feeble otherwise, and he said, that as much as he wanted to raise his voice in behalf of the good cause, he did not feel that he could survive a trip to 'dianapolis. I offered him the directors' car for the round trilr, but - I Was satisfied the' moment I set my eyes upon him, that he could not go." The Magazines. Tlie Atlantic , Monthly, for September, hardly sus tains the reputation of that able periedical, though it contains "a feW clever papers. "The Puritan Minister" treats of - - a subject, the quaint old divine of the New England of the sixteenth century, which might easily have peen made Of absorbing interest "Mr. Martin's Disappointments," and -"Who is Roebuck," are articles which astonished us by their presence, the former being flat, and the latter un dignified to an almost unprecedented degree. The paper on "Robert and Clara Schumann" hi interest ing from its subject, a remark which applies equally to "The 'Freedmen at Port Royal," though the lat. ter offers but little new information, and that in differently Presented. "The Mather Safe" is a tale, clever in idea, but treated in a circumlocutory man ner, and quite innocent of effect, well adapted; in deed; for weak nerves. "Mrs. Lewis" is a new tale, one instalment of which in, given, and is equal to the average of magazine stories. The articles of Agassiz - are continued. " Interesting Manuscripts of Edmund Burke," and "Haward's Heroes" are slight and of little weight. Perhaps the moat in teresting of the papers in the present number is that on De Quincey. • De Quimpey was a man for whose intellect the writer of the .essay, appears to have enthusiastic admiration ; nor is there any author of the century better entitled to such homage. The'age has known no greater mind than His thoughts are those which the thoughtful love, and are expressed in lan guage which has the precision of mathematics with the harmony of music. It is hard to praise De Quincey too much ; but the real difficulty is to praise him judiciously. The essay to which we refer does not speak of the faults of the subject, and ,its criti cism, though intrinsically just, is thus relatively un true. We like the appreciation of the author, and' sympathize with his purpose, but his work we can not altogether admire. Its style is a servile imita tion of De Quincey's mannerisms: . -A gentleman in 'Canton gave a Chinese tailor an old pair of breeches, with instructions to make a new pair precisely like them: To his horror the 'tailor _returned him. an exact imitation of the old breeches, with all their patches and Stains. De admirer has achieved a similar success; De Quinsey'S haidts of thought his Peculiar construction, his sudden tran sitions from the Most elaborate rhetoric to the moat grotesque familiarity, his-laborious digressions, his pedantry, are all imitated with a servility that is astonishing. It is not exactly a parody, but a touch of a humorous pen could make it so ; and to us the article is at once unpleasant and amusing. In many, respects it is, however, valuable. The few new facts are suggestive, and the brief account of, the death bed of this wonarful man is worth all the criticism which precedes it: ' The poetry of tne number is worse than usual, and is, therefore, very, very indifferent. Whether " Thoreau's Elute," "No and Yee," ""The Nei Sangreal," or "Play," (a lyric of the street,) de- THREE -CENTS. serves the pre•eminence of dullness is hard to de. oide. Perhaps the last is the worst, or perhaps it is because we read it last, that we think so. Why this able magazine, commanding, as it does, the beat ability of the country, can give us no poetry, is a question even more puzzling. Has the war palsied our sweet singers 1 It should inspire them. It is a shame that into a magazine in which every American takes, or ilhould take, a national pride, a true poem so seldom finds its way. This should not be so. It is no slight oar trivial defect, no ordinary crime against public taste, to furnish a pabulum as thin and unsubstantial as the verses in the present num ber, instead of hearty and wholesome food. Oh, re. form it altogether PHILADELPHIA, Allgllßt 18G3 To the Editor of The Press: Sin : I see in your paper of this date, speaking of the bird season, a recommendation for the gun nen to send part of their game to the military hos pitals. I for one am willing and glad of the oppor tunity.to furnish themilitary hospitals most in need with what rail and reed birds I may boat in two days shooting, as early as the season comes in. Respectfully Br.c., • AN ORIGINAL MEMBER OF THE T.ll. B. Y. O. 'XiMIC CITY. THE VOLES-PEST-FIRST DAY.—Whilst sober-headed Philadelphia was yesterday entertain ing itself in ititusual round of business, the German population was amusing itself with a festival A full of national characteristics. When one enters the grounds his first question to himself is, what am I to see first' The'stands full of gingerbread, peaches, and sugar plums, and the "functionaries with tri colored badges, divide the glanees of the eye. It is at first a perfect bedlam of gaudiness—a nondescript paradise. The reason for the assembling of them selves together is the benefit of the German Hospi tal of Philadelphia. A very laudable cause this is, and very laudably has it been sustained. No Englishman can celebrate any public event without a public dinner. Perhaps no German can celebrate an event of this kind without. a public festival. The public festival was most admirably conducted. The special detachment of police did not seem needed, and, in the way of preserving peace, certainly had little or nothing to do. The programme of the day's performance was re gulated by the taste of the individual. Chief Mar shal Bcnkert made a pleasing and effective speech. He said that he considered it his duty to solicit those whom he addressed to continue to be united in the bonds of fraternity which had hitherto united them. He was listened to with enthusiasm, and enthusias tically cheered. Late in the day Mr. Mueller like wise made a short oration in behalf of the hospital. The semi-circle of eager faces surrounding him was a gratifying tribute to the power of his eloquence. The intervals were enlivened by strains from Mayer's and Oberkirsch's bands. Overtures, waltzes, potpourris, cavatinas, and quadrilles, diversified the amusements with very acceptable melody. To describe a bird's eye view of the ground would be to describe those flower figures which we see some times imbedded in the centre of a globular piece of cut glass. It looked like ten thousand flower gar dens raked topsy.turvy, or a million rainbows chopped into mincemeat: But the occasion was a fine, not a carousal. We are afraid to say how many, tuns of lager beer were installed, and how many bottles of wine were confiscated by act of swallow ing. The vocal and instrumental music was an es sentialspart of the entertainment. The star. spangled banner displayed from innumerable tree-tops was an indubitable evidence of patriotic fidelity, and re minded one of that verse of Arndt's thrilling hymn: "To joys of German men a measure Devote, in clearer joy and thanks ; For Freedom is the German's pleasure ; For Freedom leads the German ranks. For it to live, for it to perish, - Each German bosom burns for this ; For this the hero-death toveherish, Is German honor, German bliss." The loving observbr of human nature would have revelled in the scene throughout. The green slopes and the festooned foliage,- and the necked sunlight, were pleasant. Leaves, golden-green and silver green, quivered unceasingly in the summer wind as though their delicate sinews were so many sensitive nerves. Lost children were of no un common occurrence, and Rachel weeping for her children became a matter of= course. Men lying down, men lying and smoking, men sit ting, men taking pincheeof snuff; men drinking lager beer ; women sitting en rows of benches as though they were so many Sunday-school chil dren ; women cooped behind trees and reclining on stony fragments of magnanimous size; women dressed in lilac'gowne. black lace shawls and 'bon nets made to match ; women drinking lager beer; boys and girls riding on circumambulatory horses, and in revolving chariots ; boys and girls attempt ing feats on the horizontal bar ; boys and girls get tine, in the way of spirited horses' feet, in imminent danger of incurring the fate of "don't care," and coming to a bad end ; boys , and girls drinking lager beer ; policemen looking ;policemen blinking ;" po licemen talking ; policemen walking in and 'out; po licemen saying to one party that they "-can't do _- it,""and to the right party, that they can; policemen always in the right place at the right time; police men drinking lager beer ; everybody everywhere ; everybody asking' everybody where everybody is; everybody always bobbing round like a human kaleidoscope with the St 'Vitus' dance • everybody . drinking lager beer. That is the general impression. - - A most general and abiding impression it was. Each age and class was represented in the scale of „innocent enjoyment ; not an unseemly. .action Was evinced. Moreover, the sports of this festive com munity were such as to commend themselves to imitation. Exercises on the horizontal bar were executed with very considerable ability by several young men. They would have reflected credit on any gymnasium. The whole spirit of the scene was such as could only be thoroughly entered into by him who had been educated in the practice of German characteristics.,-But, to the least uninitiated the scene could not prove otherwise than entertaining. The boys eee-sawing on saplings ; the bonnets, shawls, parasols, hung to ropes, like pearls on a string, or blossoming on branches, like a new kind of cabbage-rose, came out for the occasion ; the wind instruments dependent from neighboring boughs like so many trumpet flowers; the boxes packed with goodiea, and barricaded with shawls ; the whitewashed enclosures comprehending within them crisp muslins, pink shoulders, teeth in con junction with ham or sausage, ankles in the neigh borhood of gaiter-boots, and epaulets making protestations to crinoline; the individual making' of his trade a verbal advertisement, with "up this way, gentlemen, and see how many pounds you can lift ;" the horses and carriages like toad-stools, and . the men and women thick as mush rooms, congregating arbund stables, trees, and worm fences ; the popping of corks, the vomiting of babies by barrels (lager beer), the small boya gorging hash on stone steps, and in the stark-naked sunshine; the, open ticket offices, which looked as though con structed altogether out of doors, with the doors left out; ragamuffin vagrants skipping .rope with the remnants of heops, which bear a distant resemblance to the skeletons of balloons ; the hiiman herd scram bling up the hill of difficulty ; 'small, sunburnt beg gar girls, with bonnets the exact, image of Cone stoga wagons, with capes to them ; nanny-goats grazing, on watermelon rinds ; fat women in black, defying the sun to melt them child 'len in arms 'munching a culinary composi tion which is apparently a mean between a short cake and a muffin ; seats without bottoms to them, suggesting that chairs, like boys, sometimes need caning ;—these, and a thousand other items which the most observant eye cannot at once note, make up such a sum-total as yesterday 'Was to be witnessed at "Washington's Retreat," and as to ' day is expected be duplicated. "Mein saltines kind;" "mein hen," "mein schatz," were not unfrequent terms, but perhaps the ,epithets inseparably connected with "bier" were frequenter. It was very natural to think" of the lines— "So drink !'so drink! let us, all methods trying. For joyous hours combine; And if we knew where one in I To were lying. We'd give him of this wine. It seems superfluous to add that this genial sentiment of a German poet was fully evidenced upon yesterday% occasion. The whole festival was of a most pleasing and honorable character. It can not be doubted that the object of it will be effectual ly served. , _ WEEKLY ..11E - PORT OF THE AE3IY HOSPI TALS.—The following ir the weekly report of the army hospitals in this city-and vicinity, ending on Saturday last: EnEENI Chestnut Bill' —• Turner's Lane - Germantown.

The house receipts were reported at $169.79. The resignation of W. Octavint Eversileld, BT. D., as resident physician of the Philadelphia 'Hospital, was received and accepted. Dr. Everstield assigns as a reason, that he has been drafted into the ser vice of the United States. Mr. Erety offered a resolution that tZei First poor district be placed under the care of Mr. Samuel Field as guardian, and that the Second oor district.be placed under the care of Mr. PhilippLowry as guar dian, and that the other poor districts remain - under the care of the guardians as placed last year; which was agreed to. Mr. Dickinson offered a resolution empowering the Committee on Manufactures to employ the ser vices ofJhe weavers of the holm in any other ca pacity that might be required.. The President called the attention of the Board to the continued occupation by the Pennsylvania and other roads or the. Almshouse grounds, withoutthe payment of the proper damages t 6 the city. The Media Railroad occupied eleven acres of the ground about ten years ago, and paid $5,000 as damages. With such a basis, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany wished to file a bond, but the matter, he thought, never Caine to a definite understanding. It was placed in the hands of the late City Solicitor, • who left-it tiff a legacy to his successor. The Rpm tion Railroad had entered a bond for $15,000 damages, but the Board of Guardians were not . aware that the Pennsylvania Railroad had yet paid scent for damages on account of the occupa tion of the Almshouse ground. Mr. Erety said, that in course of time it would be likely thatthe Almshouse grounds would be used very extensively by various railroads, and it was important that some steps should be taken to pre vent it, if possible. The large area of the house was very tempting to railroad companies that would like to use it for supply depots, &c. He therefore moved the appointment of a standing committee of five, including the President, to whom should be referred all cases arising from the occupa tion of the grounds by the railroad companies. Thia was agreed to,and Messrs. Erety, Dickinson, Server, and Raines were appointed. The Board then adjourned. TNE RETURN OF THE SECOND COAL REMIMENT.—The Second Coal Regiment, Colonel Oliver Hopkinton, are expected to arrive this morn ing, and will make a street parade, some time be tween the hours of nine and eleven o'clock. The regiment will pass down Chestnut street to Front, down Front to 'Walnut, up Walnut to Fourth, thence down Fourth, and finally to the' Refresh ment Saloons, where:they will partake of a sumptii ous repast, the wholesale coal merchants and ship pers furnishing the material aid for the purpose. The regiment has performed much service isince it left our city. the Colonel beinz the commander of the post 'at Gettysburg, Lieut. (Jot. Buck being the provost marshal. One of the duties of the regi ment was to command the rebel hospitals, and es cort rebel prisoners to Baltimore. We understand that the gentlemen who organized these regiments have held a meeting, with the view to keep up theorganization, at least one regiment, so that in case of, another emergency they will be ready on sharp time.. The coal•shippers finding no law in Pennsylvania of a first class militia system, have taken the matter in hand, and out of their own private purses will keep the:regiment prganized, and make it for. Philadelphia what the fabous New Yolk 7th was to New York. This is an excellent arrangement, which, if agreed upon, will be fully effected. Plea - Tim CUBICAL BLocas.—The surface of the cubical blocks, with which some of the streets are paved, have become smoothly worn ; so much so that it is. as easy for a horse to slip as a drunken man on a -sleety morning. Yesterday a splendid horse, worth at least $5OO. slipped at Fifth and Chestnut streets, and seemed to have strained him- Self considerabiy, though he escaped with whole bones. Fifteen years - since, when the subject of such paving was introduced into the old City Councils, we well remember that objection was urged to the introduction because the surface would wear smooth. It was contended, by the advocates of the measure, that steel•pointed picks, without 'much cost, could be used, and the stones roughed, aid thus they would last a number of years before they would require the pick again. It is suggested to the autho rities, on the score of Mercy to the horses, that some action be taken on the subject, and the stones made rough. . Tn CORONER IMPT lcil3SY.-7:10r011er Conrad is still kept busy, and is, perhips, the only public officer that has not had a little rural or sea side recreation. He has proven himself good in a long heat. Yesterday morning he was called sud denly to League Island to hold an inquest upon the body of a drowned man found on the shore of that place: All examination of the body revealed the, letters S. W. and A. H., in Indian ink in his aim: He was evidently a sailor. An inquest was also held on the body of un known woman found drowned in the Schuylkill, near Market• street wharf. Also, an inquest on the body of William Furmore, aged thirteen years, who was drowned from on board. a canal boat, near Manayunk on Saturday night. The deceased resided at Reading, and was on his way down when he fell overboard, and thus met a watery grave. MASS MEETING. —A large mass ratification meeting was held on Saturday by the loyal citizens of Montgomery county, at the Cross Keys Tavern, in Lower Providence township. The meeting was called to order by the election of Henry Loucks, Esq.," as -president," Joshua Place, Esq., Dr. William Wetherell, -- Professor James Warren-Sunderland, and others, as vice presidents. 'After the reading of spirited resolutions, expressing the most loyal senti ments, the meeting was- addressed by Thomas G. Worrell, Edwin H. Coates, and Henry M. %mutts, Esga. The speakers felt the great importance of the cause they were advocating, and by well-directed re marks created an enthusiasni that will increase as the hour approaches when the citizens will be called upon to strike'another blow at the rebellion through, the ballot-box. THE CoOPER Si:COP.—This world-renown ed place looks as clean as a milk churn. President Cooper has had it recently repainted and white washed, and it now seems like a cozy cottage of con tentalmoat surrounded with ornamental shade trees. These trees are old and' large ; the trunks thereof have had two coats of country paint (white-wash), and this alone gives a cool and agreeable finish to the picture. At night, when even half illuminated, it presents a very attractive appearance, and is visi ted by many ladies and gentlemen, who never fail to express their gratification at the great cleanliness, and wholesome, pure atmosphere of the saloon. DEATHS AT THE AItMT HOSPITALS.—The following deaths of soldiers werereported yesterday at the office of the Medical Director: Charles Monaghan, Co. 0, 115th Pennsylvania, at Christian street Hospital.

Quarter Sessions,:-.3-xtd.r.eCitalow. The second' period of the August'sessione com menced yesterday, arid with it came a new jury. During the day a number of trifling assault and bat tery cases were disposed of, and at an early hour the court adjouned until Wednesday. Henry Young, charged with the murder. of Enoa McKee, in a passenger, railway car, near Strawberry Mansion, some weeks ago, was admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000, the District Attorney saying -that" he did not think the evidence warranted holding the prisoner to answer to a charge of murder in the first THE POLICE- (Before Mr. Alderman Welding.) Smoking.in Railroad Cars It is understood that smoking pipes or +cigars on passenger cars is positively prohibited by the laws or rules adopted by the ,directors. Notwithstanding this, there are some eonductors who permit conside rable' Smoking' _to be done on the front platform, which, if the breeze its against the car, must neces sarily pass among the passengers. "Perhaps there may be,•to some folks, something delicious in the fragrance ot a first-slass Havana, but the common cigars, with which-the market appears to be pretty well stocked,' are entirely. objectionable. Two ladiea had to get out of one of the Second-Street cars; a few evenings since; because of- the- smoke from an ordi ,narg, cigar belching forth like a miniature volcano from the mouth - of a common-looking man. standing on the front• platform. The conductors of the cars. Who do no ,enforce the rules of the companies, should be held responsible: On Saturday night there was something done on, one of the paseedgerrailroad cars, even worse than smoking. Two .youngmen on the front platform, not being_satisfied with - molating gentility as well as -the rules of the 'company, amused themselves with burning a colored man who had gained a place on the crowded front platform. First they burnt him on 'one side of the cheek, and then, when he t ur ned around, the other fellow would burn him on the op t:matte check, finally on the hand';.and when at last he showed ' come little spirit of resentment, one of the party thrusts lighted etumpinto his mouth, the fire end foremost., Police officers on the sidewalk took the two -young men into custody and locked them up in .the.,Cherry.street station•house. The parties were arraigned before Alderman Welding, to whom they gave the` names of Caldwell and Sheri dan. .They.were held to bail to answer at court the charge of committing anassault and battery upod the unoftending Colored man. _ 2619 927 639 6 262 473 3017 123 1100 140 [Bel'orn Mr. Alderman Moore.] The Recent Stabbing* Case.
